''Murphy's Law'' is the second album from American Rock band, Murphy's Law. It was released in 1986 on Profile Records which was attempting to broaden its horizons from the rap genre it was generally known for at that time. It follows the band's debut, ''Bong Blast'' in 1983, and was re-issued by Another Planet records in 1994 with ''Back With A Bong'' on the same disc. ==Overview== Murphy's Law were at the forefront of the New York hardcore movement in the early 1980s – but there was something inherently different about their sound. They did have the hallmarks of their peers – fast paced, short songs with mosh sections which pleased the crowds – but they also managed to blend in some laid-back Californian punk sounds, mutant rock and roll, even blues into the stomping New York hardcore anthems. Some of the songs on this album could also be credited as an influence on the burgeoning thrash metal scene which had taken to incorporating elements of New York hardcore into their sound and general song structure – for instance, Anthrax and S.O.D., whose Speak English or Die album pre-empted this release. However, whilst they shared a common interest in the lyrical themes of drinking, smoking, and partying with the likes of Boston hardcore band, Gang Green – another trait which separates them from the socio-political leanings of fellow NYHC bands – they were never going to go down the metal road, although on later albums they did diversify into experimentations with ska. This album spawned a few live favourites which were devised to "get the party going" – "Fun", "Beer", and "Care Bear" being just a small selection – but it also had a track which caused some controversy with "Skinhead Rebel". It was seen by some sectors of the community as a fascist infused song, but those in the know in the genre knew it was a reference only to the "crew-cut" hairstyle and attitude adopted by followers of the hardcore scene and there was nothing sinister behind it. Highlights on this album include the self-titled opener, "Care Bear" and the Iggy Pop cover version, "I Got A Right". 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Murphy's Law (Murphy's Law album)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
